Dependent on weather, area drivers can expect the following activity through mid-October:
· On October 2 and 3, paving will take place on the eastbound lane of Second Street. Once paving is complete, construction will take place on the westbound lane.
· On October 3, beams for the phase 2 bridge construction will be set. To allow for the crane setup and delivery of the beams, Main Street will be closed from Allegheny Street to Second Street. Main Street will be re-opened after the beams have been set. PennDOT expects the bridge to be open to two-way traffic in early November.
· During the week of October 16, paving is to take place on the westbound lane of Second Street. After the paving is complete, Second Street will be re-opened to two-way traffic.
Impacts to parking in the downtown area continue, with fewer spaces than normal available. Drivers should remain prepared for travel delays in and around Coudersport.
The work zone stretches along Route 6 from West Street to Ludwig Lane. Overall work includes roadway reconstruction, drainage improvements, bridge rehabilitation, traffic signal upgrades, water line relocation, pavement markings, and miscellaneous items.
Glenn O. Hawbaker, Inc. of State College is the contractor on this $4.8 million project, which will continue through November. All work is weather and schedule dependent.
